Thats pretty good IMO.
The colours are a bit more contrasty thna mine but that could be the light and they varied a lot anyway.

Two washes and it's have the newness taken out of it though .
& if Yith avoids washing for two days he'll look more the part too 
I tried to get the best light I could to show the correct colours. That is with the flash on... really though yes you'd have to take a picture in daylight. I'll see what I can do this weekend.
Aparently the poppers should be dark green.
Gadge... aparently they should be the same colour as the one on our slouch hats. Can you confirm that? I'll get them painted the same if so.
BTW... beret was just
Looks good - so tempted to bang an order off to relicators!
BTW, I'm intending to be at LFW on Sunday so we could have a little photoshoot? If you still have your old beret I'll probably take it off your hands!
Quick question while I am at it - could you measure the length of your cap comforters?
yup sure I'll be at LFW on sunday.
Old beret is available and now saved for you!
Cap comforter is about 90cm... thats a guess.not a measurement (its at home).
If you order from replicaters it may be worth getting some denims... damn cheap and good. See my post in the other forum.

So Dave, are you doing Airborne on Sunday or SS?
Oh and I know its just not the "in" thing to do, but you better book yourself in. Less than 25 people and Shaun will call the whole thing off!
Button is the same colour, i was actulaly going to scrath mine up a bit to be honest!
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
Think i might get myself a replicaters 2nd pattern officers denny soon...
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
Aparently 2nd pattern poppers were not green... They were brassy... but not shiney brassy and I need to dull them down a bit.
Picture of the replicaters 2nd pattern denison. (
Yiths smock was from Relplicaters, i persoanlly recomend them as i've had cracking kit at a fration of UK prices.
Hey i just made Denison pattern rank sliders!
Why take two smocks into the battle when i can just 'promote and go'!
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
ok cheers Gadge.

"Yiths smock was from Relplicaters"
I think they may mispell it on their website to be fair
They did at one point, English is Sanjays third language i would imagine...
2 weeks to a month postage, quicker once they have your measurements already.

Mate i have to be word perfect all day at school, cant be arsed in the arvo 
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."

For an extra tenner get one from Sanjay!
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
yeah ordering from there in abit need to see if i can get my money back from the other place i bought my jacket from.
i will also order my trousers from there to.
Yay, my Y-strap has arrived from Shootnscoot!
OK, I can see how to attach it, but what are the extra loops used for? i.e. Specific items of kit?
Come on, it's about time that we get a good picture front and back of a German loadout, for us noobs!
Gadge!! You don't mind dressing up for the camera! 
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
The extra straps are for use with either the A frame "assault pack" or the Tournister pack. Just extend them long enough to tuck under the belt and you'll be OK.
